gary junction highway

thanks Lindsay I will make a note and do that

Hello Lindsay,

We're heading from Alice Springs across the Gary Junction Road at the start of August. Might see you somewhere out there.

hi lizard, not sure of what communities are in that area , Im using a cape york map by hema unless you mean to go thru kowanyama to pormpuraaw then east to musgrave. I would prefer to go thru koolatah, oriners new dixie etc

thats the ones - mate got stuck i n Mitchell rvr in old ruts under the water , had to pull him & his camper trailer out .... have a good walk first (we did - but didn't find the holes) found out later a 4wd had been stuck there for a week & grader had pulled it out - that's where the bog holes came from

thanks Lizard,we will have a look at mitchell but if not sure will go around as you say. had a look at area with GOOGLE EARTH last night and there is quite a few tracks in that area so may need to get some gps points, not sure if there is any signposts

Thanks Ian,

Thank you for the report on the Gary Junction Road. It's good to know that the reports have been positive. We're looking forward to getting out there soon.

I think I got mixed up with what Lindsay was meaning when I replied before..

Hope all is well at Mt Dare

Best wishes

hi Ian, thanks for report, we are actually travelling thru from kunawarritju to papunyu and on to glen helen, and looking forward to it, Im trying to work out roughly how long that section will take us. we wont be in a hurry but will still have a long way to go. can you recall how long it took to travel that section

Gents
- we are planning Glen-Helen thru Kunawarritju to WA coast in Late July to early Aug
- may meet you all out there
- we have Nissan Patrol (very thirsty) & Goldstream camper
- phone calls to the communities say road conditions are "excellent"
- I have allowed over 7 days, but now think that may be too long ?
- any comments ?

Alan,

We're leaving Alice Springs at the end of July for Glen Helen, Papunya, Kintore etc...to Marble Bar. We have booked accommodation in Broome for 9th August..so we've got 9 - 10 days to get there.

We intend to go to Carrawine Gorge and Nullagine via Skull Springs Road then up to Marble Bar and Glen Herring Gorge across to the Newman/Port Hedland road then up the coast to Cape Keraudren, 80 Mile Beach to Broome.

We drive a Prado (white/silver) and tow a Canning Outback CT. Hope we can catch up.

Best wishes

Viv

Viv,
We are leaving Melb. on 13 July, via Parachilna to Alice Springs.
Expect to leave Ormiston Gorge/Glen Helen about 27 Jul to arrive at 80 Mile CP on 04 Aug.
- expect Broome 07 Aug, so may see you on the road.
You are certainly following an interesting route from Kunawarritji
- we plan to follow the Kidson track/Wapet Rd direct to WA coast.
We expect to be in Broome till 11 Aug, then south along Coral coast.
- our Patrol is dark blue, with Goldstream Off-Road camper.
Also hope we can catch-up.

See you on the "track"

Alan.

Alan,

We're arriving Broome August 9th and staying until 12th...at Broome Vacation Village. Hope we catch up. We'll keep our eye out for you.

Have a great trip

Viv
